The number 4.2 is between the 4 and 5, also closer to 4

How to determine the location of the number on the number line

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Number = 4.2

Also, we have the number line

The number 4.2 is between the 4 and 5

Also, we have that

5 - 4.2 = 0.8

4.2 - 4 = 0.2

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

The number is closer to 4 than 5

Hence, the number 4.2 is between the 4 and 5, also closer to 4

Use the number line to determine where to plot each rational number. 4.2 is is is-example-1
